Amid rumors of wars and hopes Of peace in
Europe, one fact Of the highest significance is to
be observed: the greatest banking syndicate in
the world positively refuses any further loans 10
Russia. The Cars empire is practically
bankrupt, and though it is Observed that bank
ruptcy never kept a nation from gong to war.
it Is not to be doubted that the impossibiliy Of
securing a loan in the money markets of
Europe viii have decidedly paciicatory intu-
at St Petersburg. The German bankers
have already advanced vast sums TO Russia, and
their refusal to loan is act of solf-de-
fence They do not propose to lend money for a
war which would make their Russian securities
waste paner. AT the same time. this action shows
that ,mose best informed on the subject believe
Russia would very probably go TO war if she were
provided with the necessary financial means.

A Level-Headed Negro.

The American Minister to Liberia, c. H.
J. Taylor who is in this country on leave
of absence, is in Savannah, and has arranged
to give the negroes a lecture on Liberia.
He proposes to resign and devote his time
and talents to work among the people of his
race in this country. He is a man of fine
intelligence and good education. He wants
it distinctly understood that he is proud of
his race, and, therefore, very properly
speaks of himself as a negro and not as
colored man.
He is Democrat, and has been one from
the time he was old enough to cast his first
ballot. He has good many things to say
to the people of his race, and is prepared to
say them strongly, intelligently and enter
tainingly. He desires to show them that
they are making a mistake in blindly adj
herring to a party that has no interest in
them beyond the votes they have,
ard that it is for their interest to
be in harmony with the people among
whom they live rather than accept the
advice of those they never see and with
whom they never come into contact.
He has also some good advice to give the
people of his race on social questions. Those
of them who have heard him are willing to-
admit that he has very level head.

Tho European War Scare.

There does not appear to be any very
good reason for thinking that war on the
continent of Europe is imminent. The
great continental powers are pretty GER
tain to engage in a struggle with each other
in the near future, but the marshaling of
forces may be delayed year, or several
years No one Of the powers has
any serious complaint to make against
another power and just at pres
ent there is no cause for war
that would be accepted as sufficient by think
ing men. There is, of course, great deal
of jealousy, and if any one of the powers
felt certain of being able to punish the
power against which it has a grudge, with
out Suffering too severely itself, it would
not hesitate to begin war at once. France,
for instance, would like to punish Germany,
but it Is afraid that it would receive worse
punishment than it could infict. 1t is not
likely, therefore, to attack Germany unless
it has assurances of assistance.
The present war talk grows out of the
war spirit which the continual and extern
sive preparations for war provokes. One
power makes a move in one direction, de-
fensive rather than offensive in its char
acter, and at once another power, which
thinks it is menaced, takes precautionary
steps for protection. These movements
give rise to sensational speculations which
find their way into the newspapers, and the
impression is created that a great war is
imminent. Doubtless -conscienceless specu-
lators are largely instrumental in starting
sensational reports respecting war #rhey
know that the public mind is in very ex-
cited condition, and thata Threatened dis
turbance of the peace of the continent is
certain to affect the stock market and de-
press the prices of stocks. 9)El1 I
OF course if war was not expected the
sensational rumors which get ahoat would
do no damage whatever, because the rumors
would not be believed, but the knowledge
that all the powers are ready for war, and
that all of them are strengthening them
selves in every way they can, makes it pos
sble for every war rumor to cause more or
less excitement. The war talk of the latter
part of last week caused the holders of GER
tain kinds of securities to sell their property
at a sacrifice of many millions of dollars
and yet it seems to have had no more foun-
dation than an article in a Russian news
paper 1t is true that it is believed that the
article was inspired by the Russian war
office, but the purpose of it may have been
quite different from what it was interpreted
to be- Doubtless there will be several more
war scares before war is actually begun.
There have been several already. No one
of the powers is quite ready to make the
sacrifices which war would render neces-

The Army and It's Courts.

The standing army of the United States
consists of 81 ,23G enlisted men and 1900 Off
GERS, and during the year ending last June
there were II, 1876 trials by court-martial.
This was a decrease from 1886 of about
1000, and from 1885 of about 1000, but the
improved record does not, to any very ap-
preciable degree, mitigate the fact that one
Of the principal occupations OF the service
is that of trying offenders. That there Is
imperative necessity for these trials is shown
by the statement that 9,2S9 of them re-
suited in convictions. Many of them
were of course for trihing offenses, and
vast majority was heard before garrison
and reginental, or inferior, courts, the
trials by general court martial numbering
only 1,e40, steady falling off for the past
two years. Some offenders were up several
times, but about 6,000 different enlisted men
were tried during the year These figures,
while they show an improvement by COM
parison, are far from presenting state OF
affairs complimentary to the conduct of the
men composing the army, and suggest that
there is something radically wrong in the
laws governing the service. The Acting
Judge Advocate General virtually admits
as much, when he says that he will submit
for the consideration of the proper Congress
sional committee the drafts of amendments
to these laws
The report of this officer also shows that
there is a good deal Of dissatisfaction among
the men because similar offenses, tried by diff
ferent courts, metwth widely different pun
ishments In cases which on the record do
not appear materially different, one court
win sentence TO imprisonment for five
years, while another will sentence for only
two, and the men complain that degree of
prejudice is allowed to creep into the trials.
An effort will be made to punishments
carefully graded, and very evidently some
thing of the kind is needed
Another recommendation contained in
the report is that regarding pay of officers
who serve on general courts-martial. Com
pensation was provided from the time of
Washington's administration to July, 1870,
but at that time new schedule of officers
preparation was made, it was held to pro-
hibit such allowances, and since then the
detail of an officer from his post to serve on
a court is a tax on the officer, and consid
cradle one when the court sits in a city and
for any length of time. The Judge Advo
cate Gener al recommends that provision be
made for the reasonable compensation of
these officers, and the matter will no doubt
have proper attention.

Gen. Chalmers, the Mississippan who
made himself conspicuous in politics some
years ago, has again appeared in the politi-
cal field He was originally Democrat,
but joined the Independent movement, and
then became an avowed Republican, as most
independent Democrats do. He is now
posing as the friend of American labor.
Gen. Chalmers has been somewhat unfortu-
nate since he left the Democratic party.
He has managed to affiliate with different
organizations just as they were losing their
grip, so to speak, on the voters, and the con-
sequence is that he has not been fed from the
public crib as largely as he would wish
His identification with the Labor Party is
in keeping with his two former moves, ex-
cept that he stands less chance than ever of
getting Office. The man who quits the Dem
ocratic party because there are not
enough offices to go around, is pretty apt
to find the same deficiency existing in other
parties

The Blair Bill.

Senator Blair. of New Hampshire. is still
pressing his educational bill upon the atten-
ton of Congress. The bill starts off well
this session The Senate Committee on
Education has made a unanimous report in
its favor There is not much, if any, doubt
that it will be passed by the Senate. There
is some doubt, however, about its fate in
the House Two or three other bills of
about the same character are pretty certain
to be introduced into that branch of Con
gress, and the efforts in behalf of the diff
ferent bills may prevent vote upon any
one of them.
1t is about eight years since Senator
Blair introduced his bill, and it is doubtful
whether it is more popular with the people
now than il was then. The New II ampshire
Legislature at its last session Endorsed it,
which Endorsement Senator Blair regards
as an Endorsement of himself. He is man
who seldom lets go of anything OF which he
takes hold, and it is safe to say that he will
urge the bill until it is passed, or as long as
he remains in Congress.
In the South sentiment is probably
rather in favor of it, II was more
popular in the South, however, when
it was first introduced than it is
now. The tendency of it is clearly to-
ward Capitalization, and, as the South is
States rights to the backbone, it is ques-
ton whether on a popular vote it could get
much of majority.
The South realizes that large percentage
of its population is illiterate, and that its
educational facilities are not as great as they
ought to be, though they are as great as it
can at present afford The greater part of
the money provided by the Blair bill would
be distributed in the South. The bill
would make the South richer by
several millions annually, and would
go long way toward providing better
schools and school houses. AS the people of
every county in this and every other South
ern State are directly interested in the bill,
would it not be well for them to meet to-
gether and discuss it, In that way they
could help their Congressman to determine
the proper course to pursue with regard to
it. There is much to be said for and against
the bill. 1t has been explained so often that
the people are acquainted with all of its
leading features.

a Lady in a Wheelbarrow.


The Catholic church of st. Paul, in Phila-

very large parish. and =" presided over some
years ago by Father S. = deceased
Now, the good father, VIII 5nder heart ed
man as ever lived, was very b. in bis man

names. 1t was his lnvariable custom, when adj
dressing the female portion of his congrega-
ton, to speak of them as women" Some of
them went to Bishop Wood, who is also dead
but who at that time was the Bishop of Phia-
delphia, and complained that Father Sheridan
always called them women" when he spoke to
or of them. Some time afterwards Father
Sheridan paid the Bishop visit, and the Bishop
took occasion 70 mention the matter of the
ladies having called on him, saying to the
good father that it would be as well for him to
humor them in the matter, at the same time re-
minding him that little politeness cost moth
ing. and so on. Some weeks after this Father
Sheridan called on the Bishop again on some
parochIal business, ami when customary greet
ings had passed said the Bishop:

An Interesting Work.

The Central South Advertising Medi-
ums' is the title of an interesting book just
issued by the Edwin Alden Co. the well.
known advertising firm of Cincinnati. 1t
differs from most publications of its class in
this respect-that in place of being a
ponderous, heavy and unwieldy volume the
outside of which fatigues a person to even
look at, it confines itself to the four import
ant States of Georgia. Alabama, Missis-
sippi, and Tennessee. Any person would be
deeply interested in reading it. Its pages
fairly bristle with descriptive articles,
pointing out the great extent and prosperity
of the South and the energy of its citizens.
The book is liqerally illustrated, and will
be found from beginning to end to contain
valuable information for all, but particu-
larly for advertisers, and we venture to say
that an advertiser having once seen and ex-
amned this book will have more satisfac-
ton in spending money in the columns of
the several newspapers published in these
States than ever before.
The name of Edwin Alden has been a
familiar one to publishers and advertisers
for twenty years past, and we heartily COM
mend to the advertising public both Cen
trdt South Advertising Mediums" and The
Edwin Alden Co., of Cincinnati.
